Have you viewed "By the Fall of the Waters..." yet? It's on view for just TWO MORE DAYS!

This exhibition, by PPL's Creative Fellow Sophie Foulkes, explores the interplay between select Rhode Island architectural structures, the waterways they extend across, and the evolving public narratives surrounding these landmarks. Integrating archival materials, this new series of collages and screen prints invites the viewer to explore the interconnectivity of changing social perspectives and the reshaping of our natural landscape.

This exhibition is on view through September 30 in our gallery during regular Library hours.

Join PPL on September 30 in conversation with Rodney Eric López, author of 'I Don't Speak Spanish, but I Understand Everything When I'm Dancing!' For more information and to register, please visit https://provlib.libcal.com/event/17350509
